Publisher Description

A delightfully offbeat story that features an opinionated tortoise and her owner who find themselves in the middle of a life-changing mystery.

Audrey (a.k.a. Oddly) Flowers is living quietly in Oregon with Winnifred, her tortoise, when she finds out her dear father has been knocked into a coma back in Newfoundland. Despite her fear of flying, she goes to him, but not before she reluctantly dumps Winnifred with her unreliable friends. Poor Winnifred.

When Audrey disarms an Air Marshal en route to St. John’s we begin to realize there’s something, well, odd about her. And we soon know that Audrey’s quest to discover who her father really was – and reunite with Winnifred—will be an adventure like no other.

This is the first time that I have ever had a love/hate relationship with the main protagonist. Strange and unpredictable, she goes through her life unlike anyone you have ever encountered before. The dialogue of the tortoise is helpful to the story and never insults the reader by being silly or cute. You will also like how the author uses language in a very creative way. A good read and yay, it's Canadian.
